Formed Date of formation; use {{Start date}} {{Start date|1996|009|23}}
Dissipated Date of dissipation October 2, 1996
1-min winds Highest 1-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately. 160
3-min winds Highest 3-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately. 160
10-min winds Highest 10-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately. 160
Gusts Gusts in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately. 160
1-min prefix If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 1-minute winds value. <
3-min prefix If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 3-minute winds value. <
10-min prefix If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 10-minute winds value. <
Pregusts If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the wind gusts value. <
Pressure Lowest recorded pressure. Expressed as a pure number - value in mbar/hPa. Will convert to appropriate values. 925
Pressurepre If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the pressure value. <
Pressurepost If defined adds a note to the pressures
Fatalities Number of people who died. Separate direct and indirect deaths if possible. 65 (36 direct; 29 indirect)
Damages Damages from the storm in millions of year-of-storm US dollars, expressed as a pure number. Template will convert to reasonable values. 1000
Inflated If defined, applies a standard inflation to the damage figure to bring to current year USD. Numerical value given here gives number of dp to express it to. 0
Damagespre If used, adds a qualifying prefix to both damages figures. At least
Damagespost If defined, adds a note to the damages figure costliest [[Atlantic hurricane]] in history
Areas List of regions affected [[Florida]], [[North Carolina]]
Hurricane season The season the storm was a part of [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season]]
